Speaking of milk

[Dirtyhip]

I think it does a body good.  I drink one glass with dinner almost nightly.

Uh oh, that will wreck your mucous permanently!

Meh.  Not so much.

I drink it every morning.  Skim milk only.

[Square Wheels]

I rarely drink milk.  I am trying to reduce common allergens in hopes that it might reduce my bladder irritation.

[Kzoo]

2% on my cereal 2 or 3 times a week maybe.  As a young growing boy I drank it by the gallon.

That is what some people claim, anyway.  I don't believe it, though.

[TrentonMakes]

Probably a pint and a half most days, between my cereal in the morning, and a big glass with dinner.  

We drink 1% - took me a while to get used to it but I'm fine with it now.

[Randomguy]

I love skim milk, it tastes the best, I feel.

No way.  It tastes like water pretending to be milk.  I drink 2%, but prefer whole.

I admit to eating cereal with half and half too.

Same with fat free or skim.  You get used to it and prefer it.  I drank some 2% a while back and almost gagged on it.

That is good in a different way.  Doesn't change the fact that skim tastes best.

No wonder RG disagrees with you a lot.  You are wrong a lot.

It is a proven fact that things with fat taste delicious.

True, I like my yogurt to be the full fat variety.  Drinking a glass of milk, though?  Ice-cold skim is the winner.

Exactly.  Foods that are fatty taste great, but I prefer my liquids without the fatty globules.

Blech!!!!

A lifetime of lactose intolerance keeps me away.  

[Dirtyhip]

I like to put my glass of milk in the freezer, before I drink it.  15 minutes to ice cold heaven with plenty of fat globules.

I do that, too.  I keep pint glasses in the freezer for when I might want a glass of cow juice, chills it up nicely.

No, the whole glass with the milk inside of it.

You don't pre-chill the glass?  Barbarian!

We drink skim but I did read that because of the way they produce shim milk it contains a lot more sugar than 1% or 2%.

You are one of the most intelligent people on the forum.  You have such great ideas.

Thanks.  I like you too.

My parents made us drink milk every day and it always gave me stomach aches.They didn't believe me & forced me to drink a glass with dinner every day but I stopped drinking it in my early  teens and  I realized later on I was lactose intolerant. I still don't like milk and won't drink it straight but do put it in my oatmeal.

Try goat milk.

Also Lactaid milk.  Supposed to be 100% milk without the lactose.  That's what their ad says.

Cows milk is for calves, and it's a total fallacy that it's good for us, that's just what the dairy industry wants us to think - it actually depletes calcium from your bones.

I remember reading that it was not really absorbed so did little good.

I only use milk on serial.  1 or 2% I am flexible.

I have multiple quote boxes again, oh well.  

I think the jury is still out on how much we need to worry about the calcium loss in bones due to milk.  Here are a few links.  Note:  The Web MD link doesn't even agree on that point.  One thing I know, I have healthy bones and so did my Grandmother.  Actually, no women in my family have osteoporosis.  We are all heavy milk drinkers.  From Web MD: " Robert Heaney, MD, a professor of medicine at Creighton University in Omaha, Neb., who specializes in bone biology, also shrugs off dairy dissenters. "The reason why dairy products work is that they contain not only calcium and protein but also phosphorus,magnesium, vitamin D, potassium, and other things associated with good bone health"

Without getting too wordy, the jury is still out on dairy.

This is what WoWilbur always says to me as well.  Now, as an infant through 12 years of age, my parents forced milk on me and every time without fail, I was yakin on the porcelain phone.  The doc back then said, just keep giving it to him, he will adjust.  After that experience, I don't care if it is lactose free, the smell, the look, the taste takes me right back.

Need?  Maybe not the milk, but the meat is very valuable for us as well as the leather.  Humans are omnivores, historically. Meat is a fantastic source of protein and B vitamins. 

Suzie, I'm sorry, but you will never win me over on the vegetarian/Vegan thing.   I was raised in a hunting family, and honestly, I feel that I don't consume that much meat.  Several days a week are vegetarian, but there is no way I could give it up forever as a lifestyle.  I did it for a couple of weeks and it was awful.   

BTW, my best friend in the world is a vegetarian.  She doesn't know what to do with me, either.

this may be an area we never totally agree on, but one thing I do know about you DH is that you are mindful - and that makes all the difference
